While Reyna may be one of the most popular agents in VALORANT, there is a growing consensus within the community that she is the biggest design failure in the game.
Imagine not choosing the agent reveal… #valorant #shorts #vct #valorantmasters
Players on the VALORANT subreddit are discussing whether Reyna is healthy for the game. One member lists five reasons why she promotes terrible in-game habits and doesn’t inspire a deeper understanding of the game. That’s a bad sign for the most played agent in the ranked queues.
For example, Reyna's kit is built to be extremely self-sufficient, to the point that she can play herself without teammates, but only if they have good aim. As a result, Reyna players are built to perfect their aim and rarely practice anything else, as they are conditioned to get a kill above all else. Then they can use her Dismiss ability or Devour heal, which also means they can take advantage of bad duels with bad positioning to get an elimination.
They also rarely learn how to play as a team, because they don't have to worry about influencing their teammates with their skills. They don't have to learn good placements for smokes, mollies or timing for flashes.
